Life in eastern region paralyzed by strike

Biratnagar, August 18, 2015:Â An indefinite strike declaredÂ by United Democratic Madhesi Front and Tharuhat Front has caused the normal life in the eastern region out of gear from early morning today.

For the last four days, schools and colleges have been closed while the vehicles have remained out of streetsÂ due to the strike. To reach their destinations, the commutersÂ are forced to use the rickshaws by paying largeÂ amount due to the general shutdown.

Similarly, in the government offices, the number of service seekers has sharply reducedÂ . ToÂ put forth various demands in the new constitution, the Madhes-based political parties and other organisations have enforced the strike.
